(The Lion) — University of Connecticut basketball star Terris Reed Jr. called Jesus’ resurrection “everything” in an interview before the championship matchup against Michigan.

Reed, who formerly played for the Wolverines, said Jesus “literally changed my mind. He changed everything about me.”

“It’s just been a blessing, just to see myself grow through Jesus. I mean, he wiped my eyes clean. My whole mind is different.

“The way I talk, walk, act changed, the way I treat other people. It’s like more not to get but more to serve. I feel like I’m here to really serve and serve others.”

Reed and the Huskies will face off against Michigan tonight at 7:50 p.m. CT for the national title.
